NY Court Allows Motion To Dismiss Jenkin Bros. Asbestos Case

Introduction

In an order issued on September 26, 2018, the New York Supreme Court for New York County dismissed an asbestos lawsuit filed against Jenkins Brothers Valve Company on jurisdiction grounds. The order found that the plaintiff failed to establish the link between a sales transaction in New York and the subsequent asbestos exposure in Georgia. The dismissal was granted until the plaintiff files a new action for the same claims against the defendant within six months.

Asbestos exposure while working in mines and manufacturing plants have led to the diagnosis of mesothelioma in several workers. Lawsuits filed against the owners of the mines allege failure to adequately warn about the hazards of asbestos exposure.
